I want to see this little girl protected from obvious abuse by a clueless mother, I am always hesitant to recommend foster care (sometimes placing the child in an even worse situation, not to mention the long term psychological effects), so it comes down in the end to the mother's ability to understand that her role is to protect and nourish this child, not use her as some perverted extension of her own psyche. If the mother remains clueless, then reluctantly I would favor placing the child elsewhere.
